Hand Solo I'll put you down as a bleeter then.
If you check pprune for Oct 2004 there is no mention of about the pensionable pay issue and I posted quite a few questions. When I rang my union BALPA they didn't see fit to mention it. When we asked questions at interview BA forgot. I know I should have realised that pensionable pay was less than basic after all every other company I've ever worked for has the same. I no, it's only BA.
If BA didn't pay me a pension at all I would still lose less than you. I think you NAPSters need us. I can think of lots of reasons why we don't need you but I don't find them very honorable.
